Iker Casillas has thanked Liverpool supporters for the reception he received on what is likely to be his final Champions League appearance.

And as he walked towards the Kop at the start of the second half, the crowd gave their customary applause to the opposing stopper - with a little extra vigour given the stature of the player who approached them.

Speaking on that moment, Casillas said: “I would like to thank the Liverpool fans for that lovely detail.
